Filming Locations Guide: Where was Baby Driver filmed?

Baby Driver is a new action thriller on wheels, although essentially different from blockbusters like Fast and Furious series. The story unfolds around a young driver trying to get away from a criminal life with the girl he loves. The production made little use of CGI to shot the stunts, and all the film is wrapped by the beat of an impressive selected soundtrack.

English director Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) is in charge of this movie, that has got outstanding reviews. The cast is headed by Ansel Elgort, Lily James, Kevin Spacey and Jamie Foxx.

Baby Driver was filmed in and around Atlanta, Georgia. Here is a spoiler-free selection of some of the most relevant filming locations for the movie:

Baby Driver is set in Atlanta, and most of the movie was shot in the Downtown area. The Candler Building in a corner of Peachtree St served as a bank for the first scene, filmed near Margaret Mitchell Square.Image courtesy of Sony Pictures and Google Maps

Some other confirmed locations, according to Atlanta Magazine, are the Criminal Records store (1154 Euclid Ave NE), the laundromat Splash (2459 Piedmont Road Northeast), the Peachtree Center, Georgia Tech, Fulton County Airport and the town of Monroe, east of Atlanta.

The car chase with a truck was filmed on the Buford Highway Connector southbound (GA-13) (Thanks Mike for your help!). Also a stunt was filmed near Jackson Street bridge at the Freedom Parkway.Image courtesy of Sony Pictures and Google Maps

The production used the neglected Pullman Yard, a historic industrial complex in Kirkwood. This place has been recently acquired by a company called Atomic Entertainment to redeveloped it into studios and residences.Image by Thomas Hawk

Baby Driver was filming in a building on Ashford Dunwoody Road with Perimeter Center E (Dunwoody). They called the fictional bank Perimeter Trust. Image courtesy of Sony Pictures

The Dahlberg Hall from Georgia State University served as a post office.Image courtesy of Sony Pictures and Google Maps

Also this building from GSU near Hurt Park was used for filming. The Netflix series Ozark were also filmed around Atlanta in Georgia. Find all the filming locations here in our report: Where is Ozark Filmed?Image courtesy of Sony Pictures and Google Maps

There are several Octane bars in Atlanta, but the one from Baby Driver is actually a Slice Pizza, located at Fairlie and Poplar. Also there is a scene at the Goodfellas Pizza & Wings at 615 Spring Street Northwest.Image by Google Maps

A major scene was shot at the Jerry Wadley Memorial Bridge over the Ocmulgee River in Juliette (the same town where the classic '91 movie Fried Green Tomatoes was filmed). Image by Google Maps

At first we thought that the diner where Debora works is the Majestic Diner at Poncey-Highland (also in Atlanta), because of the design of the seats in the bar and other details. Image courtesy of Sony Pictures - Map

However, it seems that Bo's Diner was entirely filmed in an old Denny's (now an empty place called Uncle Chucky's Diner), in Forest Park. We discover this thanks to a comment below: If you plug 5116 GA-85 in Forest Park into Google Maps and move the time back to March 2016, you'll see an abandoned building magically become Bo's.

You're welcome. However, I believe the interior scenes were filmed there too. Take a look....the interior of the Majestic Diner is completely different......counter color, seat colors, lights. However, if you look at the movie scene, the windows are rounded at each end....then look at the google map image of Bo's...same rounded windows. I'm guessing it was all filmed there.

The car chase with a truck was not filmed near the Jackson Street bridge at the Freedom Parkway. That scene was filmed on the Buford Hwy. Connector southbound (GA-13), just south of the MARTA-rail flyover bridge. Throw 33.800914, -84.387769 into Google Maps & then go to streetview in the direction of traffic...it will match the pic that you posted.

Plus, the picture of the red Subaru ? That is the intersection of Ted Turner Drive & Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. Throw 33.753411, -84.394902 into Google Maps & then go to streetview...it will match the pic that you posted.

Click around in street view I managed to get a shot of them putting up the signs. https://www.google.com/maps/@33.6150015,-84.4026021,3a,32.5y,98.59h,83.39t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sDTkmJELpsgg7OONy25mm3w!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en-GB
